For a small and relatively inexpensive lens, the Canon EF-M 18-55mm Æ’/3.5-5.6 IS STM provides very good results, typically of kit zoom lenses.

So Im not too keen on camera gear seeing as I just started to film my youtube videos with a canon 70d. I bought this lens separate and used for about 73 bucks. I'm aware this is a kit lens but am amazed on how clear these lenses really are.

This lens is a sleeper. IQ is great for the price. image stabilization seems up to Canon's claimed 4 stop. I've handheld 1/5 sec and have razor sharp images. Vignetting and distortion is easily corrected in post. The 22mm f/2 and 11-22 get all the glory but do not discount this lens.

The more I use this lens the better it gets. I bought the M3 body with this being the kit lens. At first I set this lens aside and used EF lense with converters, thinking the kit lens would be inferior. I started attaching the EF-M on hikes and bicycle rides to reduce weight.

Seems like the optics are not quite as sharp as they should be.

It's a good starter lens. If you have the money and you need a lens for vlogging or portraits I would go with the pancake lens 22 mm.

Nice lens for the price, small and covers a good range at 29-88 mm (Full frame). What bothered me were the characteristics that came with a decentered/tilted lens on my sample. The top right corner had an odd color shift that was blurred and coupled with heavy chromatic abberations.
